Hack to run iMovie 7.1 on G4s
Authored by: medicineman on Wed, Oct 3 2007 at 5:13AM PDT

I managed to install iMovie on my G4 17inch (1Ghz), and software update provided me an upgrade to 7.1.
What doesn't work however is to get it to work.
I tried both routes : directly editing the imovie executable with hexeditor, or just replacing it by the downloadable executable on the site.
It still gives me the message that it only runs on a G5 or better.
